Interoceptive Awareness Meditation (Body Awareness)

Interoceptive awareness, or more simply, body awareness, is used to understand our internal states, such as feeling hungry or thirsty. But it can also help us become more mindful of our other states, such as our heart rate, our emotions, or how our body feels after a meal in our digestive system. It can even help us determine when we’re working too hard and are likely to experience burnout.

With this awareness, we can make more conscious decisions about what we eat, understand how we feel in different environments, and make adjustments in our lives to feel more physically and emotionally balanced. It is also a great meditation for focusing inward and relaxing.
